I'm sure everyone has seen the RetroN 3, it allowed you to play NES, SNES, and Genesis / MegaDrive games. Well they just announced the RetroN 5 and now you can add Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games to the list. I just might get one of these now.

If the emulation is as bad as the previous Retron consoles then you will be better off with the real thing.
Yeah I don't know, from what I've read the emulation on these have gotten a lot better with each version. Most reviews I've seen of the RetroN 3 are very positive so I'll wait and see what they have to say about this new one once it's released.
My NES is pretty much dead at this point so I need something to play those games on plus I'd finally be able to play some SNES games. Also the ability to play Japanese Famicon, Super Famicon and MegaDrive games would be cool and then there's all the Gameboy games. Another great feature is it has an SD slot so you can save games at any point and it has HDMI output.
Thanks Shadowrunner! I'm not to familiar with the RetroN 3. I have heard that Nes machines are selling big time. Either people dislike these retro systems or the Wii virtual console has made playing on the original system popular again.
Had never heard of this. Then again, I'm not much into Nintendo consoles.Â

No problem! I have noticed the price of NES systems has gone up lately. I just figured it was because retro gaming is such a big fad right now but you may have a point.
I used to be an early bird with system purchases. Now I wait and see. But I will say, the RetroN 3 really looks neat.
Could be interessing in my future game room.... But I'm almost certain the PAL will be very badly supported... Like the Supaboy
